DEL.ICIO.USREWARD!
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
*Breaking News: The student has been located. I’m leaving this blog post up, because the headline is an attention-grabber, don’t you think? Thanks, everyone, for reading Get Schooled. *
Okay folks, it’s like this. I’m an education reporter at Georgia’s largest daily newspaper.
My bosses expect certain things of me. I’m expected to know what’s going on in classrooms in Georgia. I’m expected to know how schools are funded, how much teachers make on average, what grades are tested, things like that.
And when one Georgia kid gets a perfect 2400 on the New SAT, I AM EXPECTED TO KNOW WHO THAT KID IS!!!!
Scores were posted four days ago. I know this student has told someone of his or her accomplishment. I assume word has reached the school’s principal and the district’s superintendent. Yet it hasn’t reached me, and that’s making me look bad.
In desperation, I’m offering a reward to any Get Schooled reader who offers a tip leading to an interview with this student. (The interviewer may be my colleague, Bridget Gutierrez, who is also working this story.) The reward will be a book from my vast library of education-related books. Or, if you prefer, I’ll let you post your very own blog topic one day. Whatever. JUST HELP ME FIND THIS KID!
